Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One key decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves go with zero City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
